Released today is another exciting new version of SkyAngel, build 0.9.5. Most of the work this week has been on InFlight but there are bug fixes in Plan, and also functionality associated with automatically connecting to InFlight devices. I'll detail the new stuff below:

A context menu is now available on the main map to allow easy creation of routes
Runway centreline and glideslope plotting on both maps

Heading indicator improved with actual heading and bug direction displayed
An option has been added to automatically change waypoints as they are passed

Battery status is now displayed alongside GPS status in the main map
